Dat’s wat frens are for

Sep 15, 2025 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

Kaieteur News – A fren in need is a fren indeed. Nuff times wen yuh deh bad, is only yuh fren does come to yuh rescue. Dat’s wat friends are for.

As de lyrics of de sang goes:

“Keep smiling, keep shining

Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That’s what friends are for

For good times and bad times

I’ll be on your side forever more

That’s what friends are for.”

Some frens come with benefits. But a fren who is only a fren because of the benefits is no fren at all.

Last Sunday, a man lose he good fren. He talk how de fren abuse de frenship. Well, is mosly yuh frens and yuh other loved ones wah does stab yuh in yuh back. Dat is de way of de world.

Dem boys know wat it is to lose a dear fren. Even though yuh vex with dem, yuh does miss dem company. In yuh lonely hours, yuh does remember de good times yuh bin had together and yuh does lang fuh dem times fuh return.

We all does need someone to lean on. And dere is no better shoulda to support yuh burdens dan dat of a fren. As Bill Withers did sing:

“Lean on me

When you’re not strong

And I’ll be your friend

I’ll help you carry on…”

But as de saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Sometimes de best ah frens does gat to part.

Talk half. Leff half.
